[Video] U/N: teacupprincess

[Perne is situated at a cosy-looking table in the Azure cafe. Chin in the palm of her hand, she tucks dark hair behind the shell of an ear.

Last time, she asked about a cathedral and couldn't recall getting a direct answer. She has, since then, assumed such a thing doesn't exist. But it did beckon some very interesting religious theory conversation.

This time, she has something different she is hunting for.]

I have found mineself with an alarming amount of free time and wish to invest it somewhere other than excessive and possibly unnecessary thought. I thought I had once heard rumour of a theatre house here in Lunatia. Is that true? I am aware we have other exhibitions of art, but mayhaps something musically or stagecraft inclined could be of benefit to many of us with such interests.

I acted as patron and worked within an opera house back where I hail from. I should like to reprise the role.

[ Perne might suddenly see Weiss looking down. It's impossible to see what she's doing, but she's writing down what Perne is saying on her notebook! ]

Sub-aquatic... I see. Then I don't need to water them so much. Do they constantly need trimming, or something? Maybe I can start taking care of flowers that aren't that high-maintenance first... Until I learn more— oh! [ Now she's looking at the camera again. ] Yes, they are. I've certainly never seen anything like it in Remnant.

They look like glass, but when you touch them, they're actually very soft! I think they may be similar to the crystal trees... then again, there are so many things in this world that have crystals in them and on them.

[Settling her chin in the palm of her hand, she mulls over Weiss' information. So educational conjecture was at least marginally correct... She still has some samples she took from the trees during that time. They're not as potent now, she thinks, considering she has simply preserved them for observational study.

...She should get herself some of these roses as well.]

Constantly? I would not put it like so. Other roses, that is—those that are not glass require routine maintenance. They climb and can easily become unwieldy otherwise. It is possible these glass roses may be akin to. Although pruning for a sub-aquatic species—if that is what they are—may prove an interesting feat. It is possible if you allow them their own enclosure that they may not need the same attention to detail.

[...But how will she keep them looking nice?]

It is also possible that merchants here may supply some form of growth-slowing formula that will delay the need for such maintenance. I too, will have to do some research to see what I can find for you.

[A pause, and then.]

We ought to go together, mine lady. A learning experience for us both.

[schmisse]

Hm... I see.

[ Yes! More jotting down of notes. Weiss is definitely determined to learn and imbibe whatever she can. ]

Together? Oh! To a flower shop? I'd love to! You already know more than I do, though. I hope that's okay.

[porcelainandblood]

If you would like to, mine lady.

[It occurs to Perne that she has come off as being incredibly aggressive and it is possible that is the nobility in her peeking out. If she had her attendants, there never would have been asking. Perne simply would have said she wanted to go and they would have known well enough they would be accompanying her.]

I would never presume to put you in a position where you were uncomfortable. You have not, after all, met me appropriately. This may very well be a lovely opportunity in which to do so. Over our shared and common interests.

[schmisse]

That sounds good.

[ Perne needn't worry— if Weiss is uncomfortable about something, then she would be vocal about it. This situation, meeting somebody new and learning something together, doesn't seem all that bad! ]

We can schedule it and then see what happens from there!

[porcelainandblood]

Then it very much seems we have an accord, Lady Weiss.

[A pause and then she taps at the bottom of her chin.] I do not think I appropriately introduced mineself. [Because she almost never does.] Mine name is Perne de Archevauliere. I look forward to our meeting with great anticipation.

[schmisse]

Miss Perne, then! It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[ Her full name sounds so lovely and so fancy! Quite like how she speaks, actually. Weiss means it when she says it's a pleasure. ]

We'll keep in touch.
